The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels–a Love Story

Ree has commented a lot about being an “accidental” country girl, so I decided to find out why she says that. This was a very entertaining, actually hard to put down, book! I loved her descriptions of Marlboro Man, Brother Tim, the ranch, her driving, etc. All of it! I have it on my Kindle, so I will be able to read it whenever, wherever I want – and I will read this book again for sure.I think that the best part of the book is knowing that it’s a true story, and to see her interactions with her husband after all of this time (I watch her show too) and see that they still care so deeply for each other is just so wonderful. Sticking through the hard times is never easy, and knowing that a couple can do that and still be in love and have fun together is just wonderful.Yes, a mushy review, but I was feeling mushy is why I purchased the book, it surely didn’t disappoint! 🙂

Loved this book! She writes like she talks! I have to laugh when I watch her series now after reading about some of her fears during her courtship (getting up early was not her thing and she worried about having to garden and grow her own food)! Being another “accidental country girl”, I can relate! She wrote very candidly not only about her relationship with the Marlboro Man but also the rest of the family dynamic going on at the time. I cried and laughed through the whole book and wish she would right a sequel that carries on where this one left off. She is definitely one incredible woman and her story would inspire many a young woman trying to figure out her life!

I wasn’t at all sure about this book when I bought it, but it turned out to be a fun, honest read. Full of life experiences that really speak to all of us. You don’t have to live on a ranch to know how it feels to be a pioneer woman!

I liked her book and I want MORE!! Ree, you need to write another book after this.. it’s beautiful, insightful. I feel this is the book every newly wed and new mother needs. Heck.. even old married ladies like me.I have already planned on my girls when the move out getting Ree’s cookbooks and this will be added to the list.Still, I hope she writes another. I want to know more about Mike, and her mother, and how everything works out with Betsy.. who I LOVE! Her story about Post Partum was so real, it took me back.Thank you Ree for sharing…

I loved this true story about Ree falling in love with a cowboy, “Marlboro Man”, which changed her life. She has a great talent as a writer, because she is so humorous, and her descriptions put you right there in the moment. There is supposed to be a movie in the works based on this book. I certainly hope so. I couldn’t put the book down, it was a great read. And such a cheap price. I do not understand the negative reviews on here, this is now one of my all time favorite books.I also hope she would write a second book to tell us the rest of the story. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to the movie, & love her cooking show! Fabulous recipes! And I love seeing her family , and the ranch.

I had read the first review, said this book wasn’t good etcetera. Ok, I really enjoyed this book. I judge a book by 3 things. Did it make me laugh. Yes. Did it make me cry. Yes. Did it keep me interested enough to get past the first 5 pages. Yes.The other review I read mentioned name dropping. Ok. So? When particular items are named, it makes it easier to visualize what is being talked about.So my take? If you love watching Pioneer Woman you’ll love the book! If you don’t love the show maybe it’ll show you that hey, she lives life just like the rest of us.

First of all I absolutely love Ree! But I fell more in love while reading her love story. I like that she is so real about how her life went and that she didn’t sugar coat anything. There were downs, but so many more ups! I love how down to Earth she is more so a wonderful wife and mother. I will definitely buy any more books she writes about her life. Because I have most of her cookbooks already, which I must recommend any and/or all of them!!

Looked forward to this book and it didn’t disappoint me at all. Funny, believable story line. Look forward to more books from her.

I never wanted to put this book down. I am planning to pass it on to every female friend and family member I have. I treasure this book for the love story and the romance, but I couldn’t put it down because the story is so real. Ree Drummond is able to make fun of herself in a fun-loving way that often made me smile and giggle, but she is also, now, a heroine to me. There are many experiences that she openly shares which do not go perfect or smoothly in any way, but together with Marlboro Man and her family, they show how love and being there for each other can get you through to the next sunrise. Ree’s story is a testimony that life is not perfect, but it is beautiful.

Ree keeps you laughing and cringing along with her as she (rather dramatically) shares the story of how her and Marlboro Man met and some of their crazy and heartwarming adventures. Her book takes me right back to a lazy night in the Midwest, just chatting on the swing while watching the sunset fade. If you’re a fan of Pioneer Woman, and have read her blog, you’ll love this book.

I’m new to the world of blogs, a late bloomer you could say, and I only discovered Ree’s blog by accident last fall. And then I found out she now as a Food Network show. So I’m hooked and I’ve been trying to read her earlier posts as time will allow. Her writing style is hysterical and so down to earth. Yesterday I decided bite the bullet and by her book for my Kindle. I couldn’t put the darn thing down. What makes the story so special is that although it reads like its a fictional sitcom, you know its REAL – you know this actually happened to Ree. I’m about the same age and still single, and although its been 15+ years since she met Ladd, its refreshing to read how a real romance should play out. And what’s even better – she is not graphic, not in the vulgar sense, so this is a great read for teens to grandmas. I highly recommend this for teen girls especially – there aren’t many good relationship examples out there and its good for them to learn they do NOT need to get into bed on the first date and that good things are worth waiting for. Thanks, Ree, for sharing you story!

I have watched The Pioneer Woman for a few years now and I love that she is one of the most down to earth cooks. When I have tried her meals they are simply wonderful. So reading her book was the next step for me, I just wanted to learn more. This book is a quick and easy read. It had romance and humor all throughout as Ree tells her love story with Lad. So cute and it makes watching The Pioneer Woman an even better experience. My only wish was that the book wouldn’t end. I would love to read about how she raised 4 kids on a ranch and their experiences with homeschooling.

I bought this book when it first came out, and read it in it’s entirety as soon as I got it. I just finished reading it for the second time. I liked it better this time. The first reading….I thought it was a really romantic account of her meeting and marrying her husband. It still is that, but this time I noticed her humor more and it had me laughing out loud. Ree Drummond is a very successful author and ‘brand’, but she is also a real person, a wife, mom, rancher’s wife, and all around busy person. She approaches life with enthusiasm and humor and I can’t think of a better way to get through all the situations life can throw at you. Definitely recommend this for a fun and interesting read. For those of us who don’t live on a ranch and most likely never will, it’s also a glimpse of a very American and hardworking lifestyle.

This book is very funny and written in a way that you just want to know what happens next and next…and so you would find it hard to stop! In my opinion is a great book to take on vacation. A very good book to give as a gift to your wife :)As I was finishing the book I was thinking of finding the recipes that Drummond makes in the story to try to make them, when to my surprise she included them at the end of the book! I was so happy for this! Great story, full of romance and the failures that led to it and the recipes! definitely a 5 stars book.

If you know, or have heard of The Pioneer Woman, you’ll love this book.You’ll just love this book anyway!! It’s a good, easy read, and thoroughly enjoyable.The characters (real life peop!e), are funny, warm, aggravating, appealing, surprising, and just plain entertaining.Plus, the love story between Ree and Ladd (Marlboro Man, her dream man come to life), is truly special and endearing.They have a great yin-yang relationship, with Ladd being calm and laid-back, and Ree being feisty and up-on-her-toes (she did train as a ballerina).Their life on an Oklahoma cattle ranch is full of adventures and escapades, both good and troubling. But, their love for each other and their rugged homestead keep them bonded and working toward a very positive future.Highly recommended.

Her book is well written. The words flow nicely. An honest story from a newlywed. I enjoyed reading this book.

I started reading it as soon as I got it

Great price & quick delivery!

I first heard about The Pioneer Woman at a friend’s home. Her daughter had given her a copy of one of Ree’s cookbooks, and I had a delightful time reading through it. Ree’s stories about meeting Marlboro Man, and other snippets of her family life made me wonder if she had ever thought about writing novels. So, I went online and discovered that she had written “Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story”, and ordered it, hoping that I wouldn’t be disappointed. Well, I couldn’t put it down! What a fun, romantic story! She really found a jewel in that husband of hers. This book is light, enjoyable, with nothing off-color. I’ll be reading it again one of these days.

I have followed the Pioneer Woman for several years now, and her writing has developed well over time. I picked up her website after she had already started posting her story, “Black Heels to Tractor Wheels” and when I read my first episode of the series, I had to go back and find the other entries because it was an intriguing story. The story is a real-life fairy tale and reading it as a serial hearkens back to the days of radio, getting bits and pieces of the whole story each week. In her book, taken from that serialized account of her falling in love with the man of her dreams, the story is complete and is a delightful read. Even though I knew what was coming next, I could still feel the excitement of meeting the handsome stranger and empathize with her not wanting to be a dork around him. And the tragedy of her parents’ marriage crumbling even as her own was about to begin was well written to understand her fears and heartache. Marlboro Man, while seeming to be the perfect man, is still shown to have his human side, too. But overall, you’ll come away from the book feeling like you would want Ree as a friend.If you enjoy reading this book, you’ll love to read “Confessions of a Pioneer Woman” at her award-winning website thepioneerwoman.com, where she posts daily on life at the ranch, in full color, with her own photographs. Educational and entertaining as always.

Homey, fun, and a lovely story.

If you love Ree Drummond and her family, have watched any of her cooking shows — whether you’re a diehard fan or casually observing, like me — this book will make you fall in love with her all over again. I love Ree’s wit and humor throughout the telling of the story. It gave me an understanding of where Ree came from, what she and her husband are about and how they set the foundation for a beautiful marriage and beautiful life together. It helps me have a greater appreciation for where they are today. They’re not perfect people, and that’s what makes them so relatable. It makes my heart smile to see what the combined powers of love, family, commitment, hard work, faith and joy can produce as the years unfold. May God continue to richly bless you, Drummond family.

First off: I read MANY romance novels. Most of them have a good degree of heat. This true story is written with one’s children in mind and the fact that they may one day read what Mom has written. I would have written it the same way and some things only need to be implied and I’m good with my imagination anyway.That said: I loved this story. It’s so sweetly wonderful. It’s romance of the highest degree. It’s Clark Gable and Carole Lombard caliber. The stories are at times sadly poignant and other times quite hilarious. If something could go wrong for Ree then it did! She and her cowboy reminded me of Lucy and Ricky on more than one occasion. Lucy getting into a tight situation and Ricky standing back and silently watching. Okay; Ricky Ricardo would get pretty excited and the Marlboro Man is calm and collected. This book skips around and months may not be covered but the overall feeling is that time passes and life moves ahead. It’s not disjointed at all; but flowing.Ree Drummond is very honest about herself. She knows her weaknessess and sets out to better herself on a continual basis. Rather like the rest of us in the human race! The romance parts: great. The family parts: sweet and sometimes not so. The ranch life: tough but in a way that makes me cheer that there are ranchers out there who do what they do so we can eat. They love their land and know it’s value is beyond money. Thank god for them.I recommend this book highly. It’s an easy read and left me with a smile in knowing there are families out there like the Drummonds.

What a great read!!! I feel redundant on my review, because I will practically write what a lot of other’s have written; It is some of a repeat from Ree’s blog>>but we were forewarned that she had written about her life in the blogging portion of her site. But there is nothing like reading a love story on a written page to transport you to another realm; That is what reading a good book will do for ya!:) And yes, reading the book had me feeling like I was a part of her life>>or maybe I just wanted to be her in her life :)). (To hubby in case you read this>> Honey I love you even though we do not live on a ranch and you would look silly in chaps AND on a horse).Ree, I surly hope that the feeling that you got whenever you heard or saw Marlboro Man is still there and growing.

If you love Free you will love this book If you don’t know her, you will find out about her and YOU will love her too!!!. It’s a great book and an easy read. LOVE IT!!

I’ve been thinking about buying this book, but from the cover it looked like it would not have much substance. Well, I thought I would look inside and read a couple of pages, boy was I surprised. I was hooked and had to buy it. In fact, it was so good I gave a copy to my daughter and granddaughter, they both couldn’t put it down. I bought the paper back not knowing if I would like it.The way Ree describes events will make you laugh. Their are some sad moments, but don’t we all have them.Some of her passion for Marlboro Man does repeats itself a little to often, I just passed over it.

I am addicted to the Pioneer Woman’s food network show and her blog! I have since added one of her cookbooks to my collection. I thoroughly enjoyed her book. It is full of charm, romance, humor. I highly recommend this book. It outlines the wonderful story of how she met her husband, but also is honest about the realities of marriage to a cattle rancher living in the country. Yes, there is a “happily ever after” to their romance, but we all know life isn’t that simple. A new husband & in-laws, children, a new life on the farm, all things you love so much your heart aches; but even so the road is filled with hills & valleys, laughter & tears.This is a great book that made me like her even more than I did from watching her show. The way she tells her story is as if you are talking with a good friend, albeit a good friend I have never met. Good friends are precious & there is always room in my life for a few more.

I have been a fan of Ree Drummond for a while now having purchaced her cookbooks. This is a truly fantastic book telling how Ree met her Marlboro man. You can feel the love they have for each other. It is as if you were in the back seat with her as she went through the adventures of meeting her man and the love that grew between them. It was amazing how close she brought you into her life as each phase of her life was retold . It is easy to see how her bubbly personality came to being and how much she loves her Marlboro man and her children.

I really enjoyed this book!! Ree is as good as a writer as a cook in my opinion. It was light and funny. I know a lot more about this woman that I see on TV. It is a great story and well written.

Ree Drummond is well known for her successful cooking program on the Food Network, for her wonderfully practical and delicious cookbooks, her fascinating and useful blog, her talent as a photographer, her work in homeschooling and, at least in my view, for her incredibly handsome and attractive husband. Now we get to read the true story of how Ree met and married “Marlboro Man” her real life, oh-so-sexy husband.This very enjoyable book is a quick read because you can’t put it down. I found myself reading late into the night wanting to find out what would happen on the sometimes rocky road to the altar. Ree is open and honest but charmingly discreet about their dating and about the family crisis that threatens to blow up all her well made plans for a lovely wedding. While we know there are problems in her parents marriage (they eventually divorce), we don’t know what the root of the problems is. Her discrete handling of this difficult family tragedy is respectful and tasteful. In this day of Hollywood journalism and way too much information about almost everyone, it is refreshing to be able to read a story that respects the real life characters and their intimate lives. We truly feel the pain of the individuals involved without having to intrude upon their private lives.While Ree does not discuss her religious beliefs it is clear that she is grounded in “good, old-fashioned values” and that those values have held her in good stead through out her many career and life changes. Originally planning to only stay in Oklahoma for a short time before starting law school in Chicago, Ree shares her self doubt and worry and the challenges of breaking up with a long time boyfriend back in Los Angeles and then quickly deciding to marry her cowboy and live on a ranch. We can see her grow in confidence (sometimes) and maturity as she faces and deals with the changes that life in small town Oklahoma presents.This book was a joy to read the whole way through. I have to admit that I wanted to know more about Ree and Marlboro Man (she never tell us his name but it is easy to find on the internet). Buying one of her cookbooks (I now have both) lead me to this charming autobiography and now I hope she will combine her many blog posts and continue her story in more books about her life with the VERY handsome Marlboro Man and their four children.

I read this book because I wanted to learn more about Ree and how she got her start with Marlboro Man. This is a truly great book that feels like sitting down and talking with your best friend instead of reading a memoir. Her stories are told in the same “voice” as her blog posts, and I was very happy to see that after reading the book in the back she included recipes for every meal she talks about. If you are a Pioneer Woman fan you will truly enjoy reading this story as well as laughing along and even shedding tears with Ree.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a great love story and it brought back so many memories of when my husband and I were dating. I laughed until I cried so many times while reading this book that I lost count. I loved the part when her mother knocked on the truck window at 2 a.m. in the morning to ask if it were Ree in the truck. First, what mother would casually stroll up to a strange truck parked in her driveway at that time of the morning dressed in her nightclothes and knock on the window? Wouldn’t most of us just phone 911? There was a very cold night when my husband and I were dating that we sat out in his truck in the driveway until odd hours of the night. We had the motor running to keep the heat going and that means the running lights were on (keep in mind that we were in our thirty’s.) My father attempted to come out of the house several times to bring the garbage to the street for the next morning’s trash collection. Each time he opened the door, the lights blinded him. He finally just gave up and went to bed. We still, to this day, laugh about that incident. Ree Drummond tells a story about how they both got food poisoning from lobster while on their honeymoon in Australia. Oh! How I laughed! My husband and I traveled to Boston a few years ago and we ate lobster. I had this idea that if I ever ate lobster, it would be in Boston. I had a reaction to the lobster and was violently ill for most of the night. I remember lying in bed willing the impending stomachache to just go away (we’ve all been there.) The longer I lay there, the worse it got until finally (I’ll leave out the details) I couldn’t pretend any longer. My husband was so scared that he prayed the entire night. I felt so sorry for the people in the hotel suite next to us. I am certain; their stay was not pleasant thanks to me. My husband wanted to take me to the hospital but I was so sick, I could not move. I have to say, it wasn’t funny then, but reading about the Drummond honeymoon made me cackle aloud! Ree is a down to earth woman to which we can all relate. She does not pull any punches and tells you like it is with humor. Anyone who loves a love story will enjoy this book. It is about meeting Mr. Right and falling hopelessly in love. It is a great read.[…]

Ree Drummond sets a fantastic picture that any 80’s and 90’s era young woman can relate to in regards to fashion, dating, post-college decision making… probably all but the Wrangler and chink wearing specimen of cowboy hotness she encounters by chance. As eager as I was to hear all about Marlboro Man and how and when I could clone him for my own, I was equally anticipating all of Ree’s dating blunders and ‘hoof’,err foot-in-mouth incidents of dating a guy from another town who lives a life completely opposite of hers, yet that are easily relatable and kept you wanting more. I found myself feeling sad for her one moment and laughing at what a dope she was in another and at the same time, pictured myself. This book is a very funny, heart-warming and a must-read for a break from our fast-paced east-coast reality. Seeing that Pesky Tim is married, does Marlboro Man have a handsome and sweet cowboy cousin?

I love the simplicity of Ree’s writing. Her love story will definitely remind you of why you fell in love and, as a fellow Oklahoma girl, will remind you of why you love country life. There’s hope, there’s laughs, there’s heartstrings. I’ve read this story several times and it always reminds me of the important things in my life as well as the importance of hard work and perseverance.

But I want more. I hope Red plans to write more about the birth of he other children. Tell us about their entrepreneurial venture, the dogs, home schooling, lots of stuff.I notice she never mentioned th baby having a name but she must have been Alex!Any fan of follower of the Pioneer Woman should read this.

After watching Pioneer Woman on Food TV, I’ve always enjoyed watching her recipes. Now I know how her smile remains no matter what happens in the kitchen. A good man and lots of communication seems to be the key.

Unexpected! I have watched her show before, but I don’t follow her per se. This is such a beautiful love story! It should have been told. Good for Ree & Marlboro Man, glad they have made it!

I absolutely loved it, but it left me wanting more, just like the “Yorkshire Shepherdess” ; “The Ladies of Low Arvie: Living the Farming Dream & Life with the Ladies of Low Arvie: Continuing the Farming Dream”.I hope she planned to write a sequel. There are still some loose ends she needs to tie up like: when and how did they get to complete their house; how did she become the next “Food Network Star”; How did she go from having just one kid to 4 well brought up kids.

Black Heels to Tractor Wheels was pretty much exactly what I thought it was going to be. I really like Ree’s writing style on her blog, when I read the portion on her website I did note that there were grammar errors (but I can’t speak much on that as my grammar is pretty bad also), but the book does correct many of the before errors. I almost skipped the first half because I thought it would be identical to the blog version but it wasn’t, which it made the purchase of this book worth it to me. I loved the extra details she added. I also liked how although it seems written like a “typical love story” it’s not. It is her story. She doesn’t sugar coat that she wasn’t the most pleasant person at times and that she made mistakes. She speaks honestly of the struggles her first year of marriage, which I find very…humanizing (not sure that’s a word), it makes her seem like a down to earth person telling, remembering out loud her story with close friends. No the writing style is sophisticated, but I didn’t expect it to be, and I am glad she didn’t try to change her writing style from her blog to her book. It keeps her consistent and honest in my mind.

I read this book when it first came out, and thought it was a good, clean and interesting love story! This was before I realized that Ree was a celebrity. I came upon it again, and am enjoying reading it for a second time. However, It seems to have been edited as the story is a little different in the newer version. I don’t get the reviewers (either for this book, or for her 2nd book “Frontier Follies”) who call her “self absorbed,” shallow”, etc. She seems pretty honest and down to earth in both books. If caring about her looks, clothes, etc. seems shallow and self absorbed, that is a pretty harsh critique in a society like ours. Sounds more like “sour grapes” to me. It’s great to read about someone who adjusted to a completely different life, made a success out of it, and loves her husband and family. How easy could have it been to go from being a city girl, and culture lover to living on a ranch in an isolated location? It takes a strong women to thrive after making such a change.

Great price & quick delivery!

Very few times does a book get me at chapter one and not bore me past chapter 3. I could not put this book down. I read the whole thing. It was so enjoyable and being a mom I could relate. I so enjoyed reading this book. I laughed so hard in parts, especially when her purse spilled everywhere. Who hasn’t had that happen? It gives me hope that all is not lost in love and there are good guys out there. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Her book is well written. The words flow nicely. An honest story from a newlywed. I enjoyed reading this book.

This is a beautiful love story, passions as deep as in Gone With The Wind. Instant attraction between two very different people with very different backgrounds who really do become “one.” The love just keeps building — there are some glitches, but these do not involve their passion for each other. If you watch Pioneer Woman on TV it adds to the enjoyment as you can “see” them and “hear” Ree and Marlboro Man (Ladd) speak the words you are reading. There are some sweet, just really precious encounters between them. Ree writes it just like she talks – it’s like she is confiding to her best friend, you the reader, but she isn’t talking about cooking, mostly about Marlboro Man and how they make each other feel. It is “real” and it grabs your heart.I read a borrowed book the first time, hated to finish it as I missed them both when I was through, so I had to order my own, and got the soft cover book and read it . . . twice. Then I decided I’d give that book to my granddaughter and I bought the hard cover book which I am now almost through with for my 4th reading. I skip through a few pages now, and I still read some passages over a couple times. He does the SWEETEST things! Marlboro Man?? Yep!Every reader will wish to live a love affair and marriage like Ree and Ladd are living. Every woman wants a man like Marlboro Man. Lucky Ree – – and Lucky Ladd. They deserve each other.Shirley in Phoenix

I almost didn’t order this book based on some of the reviews but I gave in and got it, and boy am I glad I did! I enjoyed this book a great deal. It was written just as if she was talking to you and although she’s no literary genius, she’s not totally lacking in writing skills either. And what others saw as a story about a man who won’t give and a woman who ‘gives up her career for a man’, I saw a woman who fell deeply in love with a man and a man who fell deeply in love with a woman. In his profession, it’s not like he would be ready, willing and able to just pick up and leave. That doesn’t make him selfish, it just is what it is when you live that life. Therefore, her choices were easy, leave and go to Chicago and give him up forever, or stay with him and give up Chicago forever. It seems to me that instead of giving anything up, she found something she wanted more and decided the ‘big city’ wasn’t that important after all. It might not happen for everyone, but I don’t see what is so wrong with a woman, who finds absolute, true love, choosing that instead of a career! Maybe more women these days should try it!

Unexpected! I have watched her show before, but I don’t follow her per se. This is such a beautiful love story! It should have been told. Good for Ree & Marlboro Man, glad they have made it!

Absolutely loved this book! It was much better than I thought it would be. I love how she’s captured her and her husbands love story for her kids and future grandkids to read one day

A co-worker (whose sense of humor I trust) recommended this book to me and I loved it! I’m not normally a giggler so when my eight year old son saw me giggling so hard that I was crying, he actually became a little nervous- oh no, mom has finally flown the coop!! Now if I had read her blog and found this to be much of the same stuff, I would have been disappointed, but I had never heard of Ree prior to this. I could so identify with the crazy things that happened to her and her choice of words just cracked me up!If you need a good laugh, and a sweet love story, this would be it.
